Impact of changes in pruning practices on vine growth and yield

To characterize a wine, the most frequently used criteria describe its color, its origin, the grape varieties from which they come, or even for white wines its residual sugar content (dry, semi-dry, sweet). In france, the system of appellations of origin set up in 1919 was initially based solely on the notoriety and origin of the wines. But given the unfavorable consequences that this lack of details generated, the public authorities quickly integrated in 1927 into the “capus” law criteria for access to designations of origin, relating to the specific characteristics of the soils of the vineyards and the grape varieties used, in particular exclusion of interspecific hybrid varieties. In 1935 the creation of the aoc system confirmed the interest in precisely defining all the production conditions that must be implemented to be able to claim the benefit of an aoc, and grape varieties were an essential condition for acquisition.

La D.O. Montilla-Moriles, situada en el sur de la provincia de Córdoba, corresponde a una de las zonas de mayor interés dentro de la vitivinicultura andaluza. Las formaciones de suelos

Dans la tradition classique, les vins mousseux sont le produit d’assemblage des vins d’origine différent. La choix de la typologie du moussage (brut, extra-brut, dosage zéro, etc.) généralement est une conséquence des résultats organoleptiques atteints à la fin de le période d’affinement en bouteille.

High temperatures influence plant development and induce a large set of physiological responses at the leaf scale. Stomatal closure is one of the most observed responses to high temperatures. This response is commonly considered as an adaptive strategy to reduce water loss and embolism in the vascular system caused by the high evaporative demand.

Avec l’accroissement des surfaces viticoles conduites en Bio, la question de l’impact de la présence de résidus de cuivre (seul anti fongique autorisé dans l’UE dans ce cadre Règlementaire) sur le déroulement des fermentations et sur les qualités œnologiques et organoleptiques des vins s’est révélée de plus en plus cruciale.
